Pink Fire Pointer Fun in space

Fun in space



Long story short, there's a vast, vast storm currently raging on Saturn. It flared up in December 2010 and is still going today (the picture was taken in February of this year - pictures of Saturn often seem computer generated - Saturn's such a spectral object). It gives a few clues as to how the long seasons in the outer planets affect the weather there. But just take it in (listen as well as look; furious lightning).
